I have always loved learning new languages. I started to learn English as a child. At 16 years old, I lived in Canada from August 2007 to August 2008, where I did my 2nd year of high school, improved my English and immersed myself in a new culture. In 2009, I started my Agronomy university degree in Brazil. In 2013, I got a government scholarship to study for 1 year in Italy (Università di Bologna) to specialize in my chosen field - Fruit crops. There I also became fluent in Italian. I did my final thesis work in Italy, working with Italian professors and colleagues, and had to translate it to Portuguese to present it to my home university in Brazil. Later, I translated my work from Portuguese to English and converted it into a scientific article, that was published in a peer-reviewed review in 2020.  

After finishing my university course, I started working full-time for a company that grows, stores, selects, packs, and sells apples, deepening my knowledge about this crop. Because this company also exports apples, often I have dealt with foreign clients in English, translated and checked documents in English and Portuguese related to the export process.

My experience is concentrated in translating and correcting scientific texts and other kinds of texts related to agronomy, especially about fruit crops, apples in particular. I can translate and proofread scientific texts, books, abstracts, etc.
